The traffic in KNAMS is currently covered by Kennisnet.
Kennisnet and WM.de provided the servers in KNAMS, WMF paid for manpower
and some hardware, e.g. network switches and router interfaces. (AFAIK,
others may be able to give a more detailed overview)
How much could WMF save if there was a knams-like
installation in, say, Chicago, New York or San Francisco, paid for
by a Kennisnet-like sponsor?
I don't have any figures about this.
When I donate to the WMF, do I help paying for the
blue only, or
also for the green part of these diagrams?
Donations to the WMF will be used to cover the blue part, parts of
the green part, and overall costs of the project, which are not only IT
related.
